Good afternoon!

I use the weather station Davis Vantage 2 with Raspberry Pi 3.
The version of the weewx is 5.3
Three days ago the station stopped the registration
And I've got such errors:

Can you tell me the reason for the errors?

Can you tell me the reason for the errors?

I'd start by unplugging and replugging the USB cable.

If that fails to make a difference I'd take the batteries out and disconnecting it from power.

I get bittien by that every year or two, usually after a power outage. The logger memory in your station is likely corrupted.

Most likely you will need to reset the station; unplug it from power, remove the batteries, and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Then put the batteries back in, plug it back in, and reconnect it to your WeeWX system. While you are at it, it wouldn’t hurt to unplug and reconnect the USB module as well, just in case it is a connection issue.

Thanks for support
Next week I will visit the platform and try to replace the cable and restart the weather station.
